RECOMMENDATION
title
Adopt a Resolution amending the Table and Index of Classes, the Departmental Allocation List for the Auditor-Controller’s Office, and Human Resources, a Division of the County Executive Office, and appropriate personnel policies. (Fiscal Impact: Net Zero; General Fund; Budgeted; Discretionary)
body
BACKGROUND
Due to the upcoming retirement of an incumbent in a key management position, the Auditor-Controller’s Office’s organizational structure was reviewed and restructuring is recommended. This change deletes 4.0 FTE positions (1.0 FTE Deputy Auditor-Controller, 2.0 FTE Senior Accountant-Auditor, and 1.0 FTE Property Tax Specialist) and adds 3.0 FTE Staff Services Managers. Human Resources concurs with this structure, which will prompt a department promotional recruitment.
Additionally, in April 2026 Risk Management services were consolidated within Human Resources. A new 1.0 FTE Deputy Chief Human Resources - Risk Officer is required to lead the program.
These actions result in a net-zero FTE increase, take effect next fiscal year, and are cost-neutral.
Requested Action:
Amend the Table and Index of Classes, the Department Allocation List for the Auditor-Controller’s Office by deleting 1.0 FTE Deputy Auditor-Controller, 2.0 FTE Senior Accountant-Auditor, 1.0 FTE Property Tax Specialist, and adding 3.0 FTE Staff Services Manager, the Department Allocation List for Human Resources, a Division of the County Executive Office by adding 1.0 FTE Deputy Chief Human Resources - Risk Officer, and appropriate personnel policies, effective July 18, 2026.
